In an implementation, the circuit board 12 may include a first wiring region 22 i, a die mounting region 22 m surrounding the first wiring region 22 i, an underfill placement region 22 o surrounding the first wiring region 22 i and the die mounting region 22 m, and a second wiring region 22 p surrounding the underfill placement region 22 o.

An area of the first wiring region 22 i may be less than an area of the die mounting region 22 m. The first wiring region 22 i may be at a central portion of the circuit board 12. The underfill placement region 22 o or the second wiring region 22 p may be at a periphery of the circuit board 12 (e.g., outward relative to the die mounting region 22 m).

Outermost edges of the underfill placement region 22 o may be different distances from outermost edges of the die mounting region 22 m. In an implementation, a lowermost (e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 1) edge of the underfill placement region 22 o may be a first distance UF1 in the −Y direction away from a corresponding (e.g., facing or closest) outermost edge of the die mounting region 22 m.

An uppermost (e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 1) edge of the underfill placement region 22 o may be at a second distance UF2 in the Y direction from a corresponding outermost edge of the die mounting region 22 m. The first distance UF1 may be different from the second distance UF2. In an implementation, the second distance UF2 may be greater than the first distance UF1.

In an implementation, the underfill placement region 22 o may not be omitted. In this case, the circuit board 12 may include the second wiring region 22 p surrounding the die mounting region 22 m (e.g., the second wiring region 22 p may be directly outside of or directly contact the die mounting region 22 m).

The VRM 305 may adjust power supplied to the semiconductor package 340 to a preset level of power suitable for the first or second die 325 or 330. A voltage regulating function may be achieved by passing a voltage through several filter elements including passive and active filter elements. A voltage is supplied to an internal circuit of the second die 330 via the VRM 305, and voltage noise may be reduced via a passive element constituting the first die 325, such as a decoupling capacitor.

A passive element of the first die 325, e.g., a decoupling capacitor, may have a form in which an inductance and a resistance, which are unwanted parasitic components, as well as capacitance are connected in series. A parasitic inductance component may also exist on a path between the first die 325 that is a passive element and the second die 330, and accordingly, the farther the first die 325 is from the second die 330, the lower the percentage of high-frequency noise may be removed.

In the semiconductor package 340 according to an embodiment, the first die 325 (that is a passive element) may be adjacent to the second die 330 to maintain a constant percentage of high-frequency noise removal, thereby improving PI characteristics.

Referring to FIG. 17A, after an insulating layer 402 is formed on an upper surface 400 b of the wafer 400, a device-forming layer 404 and a test circuit layer 406 may be formed on the insulating layer 402. The wafer 400 may have the upper surface 400 b (or front surface) and a lower surface 400 a (or rear surface) opposite to the upper surface 400 b. The wafer 400 may correspond to the wafer 62 of FIG. 9. FIG. 17A shows that the lower surface 400 a of the wafer 400 faces upward.

The device-forming layer 404 may be a material layer for forming an integrated circuit device or a passive element. The test circuit layer 406 may be a material layer for testing at least one device. A carrier substrate 410 may be attached via an adhesive layer 408 to the upper surface 400 b of the wafer 400 on which the device-forming layer 404 and the test circuit layer 406 have been formed.

Referring to FIGS. 17B and 17C, a thickness of the wafer 400 may be reduced by grinding the lower surface 400 a of the wafer 400 as shown in FIG. 17B. During grinding of the wafer 400, a wafer damage layer 412 may be generated on the lower surface 400 a of the wafer 400.

In an implementation, as shown in FIG. 17C, plasma 414, e.g., gas plasma containing sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), may be applied to the lower surface 400 a of the wafer 400 to remove the wafer damage layer 412.

Referring to FIGS. 17D and 17E, a photoresist layer 416 may be formed on the lower surface 400 a of the wafer 400 as shown in FIG. 17D. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 17E, the photoresist layer 416 may be patterned using a photolithography process to form a photoresist pattern 418. The photoresist pattern 418 may expose a region 417 of the lower surface 400 a of the wafer 400 overlying the test circuit layer 406.

Referring to FIGS. 17F and 17G, the region 417 of the wafer 400 and a corresponding region of the insulating layer 402 may be etched by using the photoresist pattern 418 as an etch mask together with application of the plasma 420, e.g., gas plasma containing SF₆, as shown in FIG. 17F. The etching may be performed as described above to form a wafer pattern 422 and an insulating pattern 402 a having a through hole 421 exposing the test circuit layer 406.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 17G, the photoresist pattern 418 may be removed using plasma ashing 424 such as oxygen plasma ashing. As a result of the plasma ashing 424, the wafer pattern 422, e.g., the lower surface 400 a of the wafer 400, may be exposed to outside.

Referring to FIG. 17H, a mounting tape 426 may be applied over the lower surface 400 a of the wafer 400 to detach the wafer pattern 422 and the insulating pattern 402 a. In this way, the dies DI1, DI2, and DI3 separated from one another may be provided on the mounting tape 426.

Each of the dies DI1, DI2, and DI3 may include the wafer pattern 422 and the insulating pattern 402 a. The dies DI1, DI2, and DI3 may correspond to the dies 16(36), 16-4 (36-1), 16-5(36-2), and 16-6(36-3) of FIG. 9. Each of the dies DI1, DI2, and DI3 may include one or a plurality of unit chips.

By way of summation and review, if a large amount of noise were to be transmitted to a die due to poor PI characteristics, the semiconductor package could malfunction or suffer performance degradation or a shorter lifespan.

One or more embodiments may provide a semiconductor package capable of improving power integrity (PI) characteristics.
